Glad to have joined the centenary celebrations of Dr. MS Swaminathan. We are all committed to further popularising his works and ideals, especially to boost innovation and farmer welfare. The release of a commemorative coin and stamp is a tribute to one of the most distinguished scientists of our time. Presented the first MS Swaminathan Award for Food and Peace to Prof. Ademola Adenle. I also commend Dr. Soumya Swaminathan for the work she is doing towards subjects close to Dr. Swaminathan.

As of Thursday, humankind has used up more natural resources than can be renewed this year.
The Earth’s natural systems cannot keep up with our demands.
Time to rethink the way we produce & consume - making sustainable choices.

At the #WetlandsCOP15, the world comes together not as separate nations but as one global community. Because no country can solve this alone.
Through international cooperation, we have protected wetlands before. Now, we must go further.

Indeed AMCEN @ 40, holds more than a legacy—it holds a mandate. The next chapter must be one of transformation, rooted in innovation and resilience. AMCEN must remain the heartbeat of Africa’s environmental vision—a forum not just for policy, but for people; not just for planning, but for action.

As the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) marks its 40th anniversary, the continent stands at a critical crossroads. Africa is home to 30% of the world’s mineral reserves, 17% of its forests, and the youngest population on the planet. Yet it also bears the brunt of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The question is no longer if Africa will develop but how. Will it follow a path of extractive, resource-heavy growth? Or will it carve out a new trajectory one defined by sustainability, equity, and innovation?

AMCEN-20 has committed to support a global plastic treaty, affirming the continent’s need to engage with the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution

Global health programs have saved tens of millions of lives and made the world safer and more prosperous thanks to investment by the U.S. and other countries. Now, all that progress is in grave jeopardy.

What if the real climate divide isn’t global but between capitals and cities?
At the #AMCENat40 Breakfast Dialogue on Cities and Climate: Bridging National and Subnational Action, leaders and experts made it clear:
“Adaptation is more than NDCs and finance, it’s about equity.”
“We must build partnerships that learn from, not dictate to, each other.”
Africa’s cities aren’t waiting. They’re ready to lead.

As AMCEN turns 40, youth are not just reflecting, they are demanding a future that delivers.
From stronger accountability to action that reaches the grassroots, the message is clear:
We need the AMCEN we want, not just in words, but in results.
